Richard Linklater's playful, poignant love letter to cinema reimagines the making of Jean-Luc Godard's revolutionary New Wave classic Breathless, told in the style and spirit in which Godard made it. After writing for Cahiers du cinéma, a young Godard decides making films is the best film criticism. He convinces producer Georges de Beauregard to fund a low-budget feature, and creates a treatment with fellow New Wave filmmaker François Truffaut about a gangster couple. The result? One of the first features of the Nouvelle Vague era of French cinema.
